When developing a script, it is a very good idea to see if what you
want done can be done by hand first. This is an excellent demonstration
of that principle. When you try it by hand, you'll see that when you
open a gif, hue_saturation is not availble - it does not know how to
operate on an indexed image. Do a 'Gimp->convert_rgb $image' prior
to calling the hue_saturation and see if that fixes your problem.
Now, this does point out 2 problems in Gimp; I'd encourage you to submit
patches to either/or if you can find the time. First, the PDB
documentation doesn't mention its indexed limitation. Second, Gimp is
not terribly friendly with regard to type definition in the PDB; it
should have come back with an error saying "Cannot perform
hue_saturation on an indexed image at line 3 in buttondemo.cgi" or
something similarly helpful. Until the latter is solved, its best to
assume that you have to handle types yourself.
Best of luck on your autogeneration program!
